DC Audio Lv3

  I’m no box building expert by any means there are guys on here that are way into that but typically the only way you would have a setup like that going to the ski Hole is if you had a bandpass box...even tho it seems to be knocking in the video I’m almost certain it sounds like absolute **** in person 

2.5cf is very small for a pair of 12s, even for DCs. I would go up to 3cf. Sealed boxes are a waste of time and resources on subs like those lvl3s. 

Gonna give it a try regardless... just to see?

That configuration is something that well... IDK... but maybe someone out there has direct experience with that way.

I looked at it quick and dirty and got around 2.8ft3 net a.d. tuned to 36hz, single ply .75" all around, fully braced with a 5.9" ID round partially external (IDK if a large flare will fit the ski-hole) so you'll need to see whats possible.

I can try to draw something up as I got some time atm, But... is there a depth difference that'll follow the seat rake to possibly gain some volume? As stated 2.5 is small and even tho 2.8 is doable more volume would be better.

Sounds like a project... so if you'd like me to try just message me.

Yeah if you could try to see if that kind of design works. My skipass is 6x5 if that helps. Also going ported will it play with force and not smooth like a sealed enclosure. Am looking for a nice SQL setup that sounds really good and can hit every note but at the same time if I want to turn it up and let it wang hard I want to have to potential to do that

I modeled and drew this up...



I don't know what you expect but like all enclosures it's a collection of compromises and your available space and configuration/install kinda starts it off on the wrong foot IMO.

That said... this'll be punchy and extend fairly low too. It's not perfect but should do reasonably well IMHO. I'd flare the port entry as much as your comfortable with and fab a plate that sets in the ski-hole where you can flare the exit as well.

Anyone wanna weigh in on this one?.. lol

Don't bother with the LVL 3s. I had two and was not impressed at all for the price of them.

I don't like the subs being so close to the port, could cause awkward loading. 

IMO what OP wants to do isn't a good idea, I'm not a fan of porting through a ski pass opening, there is nothing to load the port which means lost output.

I tried to redirect the "wave" so to speak where it enters the port and kinda cover it from the subs... I agree, it's NOT optimally configured that's for sure, subs playing in trunk port thru ski-pass out of the rear of the enclosure.

The things we see on this forum... I musta' been bored... lol

Probably bandpass 1 12 and sound better anyways.

What kind of car is this in?

Do your backseats fold down?
